The study was done in approximately 45 minutes. It’s a tiny section of a series of waterfalls called Kakabika in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan bit.ly/popovich-kakabika-watercolors. When we first visited this waterfalls, there was very little water flowing over the rocks and boulders. We were in a 10-year drought at that time and many of the rivers, streams, and lakes we’re extremely low. So I took advantage of all the exposed rock and characteristics of the small waterfalls in the long ravine.

The idea of this watercolor sketch was to push the values around the waterfall to create a stronger focal point. I did use a razor blade to pick out the splashing of the water onto the rocks.

Through the years I have recognized during my repeated visits to different locations that it is like wine. Each time is different and sometimes an unexpected surprise. I raise my glass to Mother Nature.
